I'm having fun picking all the toms - I planted heirloom ones this year & its real interesting seeing & eating the different types. One plant keeps giving us deformed toms - but they are nice stewed.I particularly love the yellow tomatoes. - Black Krim I'm not soo sure - might be lack of water but they seem very dry.
Today I've had a go at drying cherry tomatoes - just cut them in half, sprinkled some fresh sage on the top & set in car shed to dry - the smell was wonderful in the house but the whirring of dehydrator got a bit too much.When dry I'll pop in jars with olive oil & garlic - hopefully this will make sundried tomatoes. I have no recipe so if anyone has better ideas I'd really appreciate it.
Tonight we are having fillet steak from home kill beef off a friend - home kill meat is always soo much nicer - I think its soo humane. The animals goes through no stress & its over soo quick - much nicer than taken to the yards, trucked etc...
We have zucchinis so will cook them up with tomatoes & garlic (my egg plants aren't ready yet) - some onions.
Eggs from chooks for Brent & some nice home made bread.
Oh and baked potatoes.
I've done my weeks menu plan & am getting in a good routine.
Right off to bottle ginger beer & fill the tins.
Will take photos of what I decide to make & share recipes later.
